Aunt Gloria gave us a certificate for some Paintedlady butterflies, well actaully you get the larvae, that turn into the caterpillars then the chrysalis and finally butterfly...Anyhow, she loaned us her butterfly "cage" and we sent in the certificate. The girls checked the mail everyday, anxiously awaiting their delivery...when we finally did get them, they were already full caterpillar size, and the next day...crawled to the top of the holder, "j"ed and changed into their chrysalis. A week later they emerged, few days after that we let them go. Everytime one flew off, Mike would comment, "oh, the bird got that one." which the girls did not appreciate.
